Across Ayala Land’s expansive estates—with developments situated within Bonifacio Global City, Nuvali, the Makati Central Business District, and Vertis North—a story of sustainability and innovation is unfolding. Known as the"lolo and lola" of Philippine real estate, Ayala Land has long been a cornerstone of the country's urban growth. Recently, the company has gone beyond simply developing spaces, focusing on shaping a future firmly rooted in environmental resilience.
Central to this transformation are four sustainability pillars: site resilience, pedestrian mobility and transit connectivity, resource efficiency, and local economic development. These principles guide every project, from retrofitting streets in Makati for pedestrians to managing private carbon forests.
Lopez-Vito highlighted the importance of communication in amplifying Ayala Land’s sustainability efforts. “If people know what Anna and others are doing—whether at Ayala Land, Megaworld, RLC, or SMDC—you can support these initiatives,” he said. “The more you do, the more sustainable our actions become. Sustainability has to make business sense to be truly sustainable.”
